If I could be where you are
I would walk by your side
And would tell you my tales of the day
I would write you my poems
And then would read them myself

If I could be where you are
I would cuddle with you,
And would just let our bodies connect
and be touched
And then no words would be needed,
As that language would speak for itself

If I could be where you are
I would look with you at the stars tonight
And then I would not need to wish no more
As I would have you already near
And that’s all I would wish for

If I could be where you are
I wouldn’t be here

You looked even more beautiful
when I saw you
Is it the tender touch of love
that caught you
and makes your face
serener and softer?
That draws a smile on your lips
And makes your body dance?

In your eyes I saw even more of you
Like water that is transparent
and shows its deeper beauty
Like you’ve allowed yourself more
to open up to me and to the love

You have changed, my dear
The tender touch of love
has made of you
Even more the man of my dreams

And we both walk
I have you on the horizon
And you have me in the silver lining
in the sky

Every step takes me
closer to you
And your steps pave
the road towards me

And I cannot wait anymore
As I have waited for too long
So I here I run, here I fly
my way towards you

And you as well,
You run, you fly
Our hearts beat faster
We’re almost there
We already see
How the sky colours
How the sun rises
And how the birds gather above us
As they show us the way to go

And then halfway,
We both arrive
exactly at the same time
Synchronized as always
As love is right on time

And in an embrace
we meet
like we never met before
We both lift each other up
And we fly
But are anchored in each other
In arms that have longed
for too long
In kisses that now
can be given
In love that now
truly can be lived

Previous: The Rage Of The Feminine

You say: ‘Wow! You were very impressive
in your last poem, my sexy sweetie’

I say: ‘Thanks, my cutest cutie,
Actually, I’m myself
a bit impressed by it too
As I was really angry
But my own anger,
my own power and divinity
often scare me
I’d like to be
more of the harmony
And to make peace and love
Instead of war.’

‘Oh no, you were totally right,
my sexy sweetie
We, masculines, we really screwed
it up with you,
I am very sorry
For all the hurt
I see your value
and I promise to respect you’

‘Ohhh thanks my cutest cutie
We always are best friends
We are best lovers
We are best besties
Let’s go back to harmony
Let’s now dance
And celebrate new beginnings’

‘Your wish is my command,
My sexy angry Goddess’

Can we pretend,
No one is reading
along with us
But it’s just the two of us
In this intimate space of words?

May our goodnight kiss
melt the stars in the sky
blend heaven and earth
harmonize the day with the night
marry the moon to the sun
and merge us fluidly into our dreams

She is in her house of poetry
where she writes her tales in verses
And she starts giggling
As she realizes, she can do anything
With her main characters,
The two lovers of true love
She is the creator of her world
The master of her own reality
She could just let him kiss her
And, oh man, she could write
how she kisses him back
And they could even do more
She feels like a God
As her main characters look at her
And ask her what to do next
She writes their texts
She let him say the words to her
How he loves her madly
How she is the girl of his dreams
And then, oh man, they have their moment of firework in the sky
But sometimes she only wishes
She could also write for the real

There is a land
It is the land of the rising sun
Where you shine
in your own strength
And find your own gold

It is the land
Where the well
of true love is
Where you can be
Who you are
Nothing more, nothing less

It is our homeland, my love
Where we come from
Where our hearts met
The land that we share

Do you hear the bells ring,
Do you hear its music sing in our hearts
in its call for us?
Can you feel the warmth
of its fire
And how its flame burns
In the two of us?

The flames that want to dance
That want to merge
That want to burst
Into a fire of one

©RoseGirl2018

I’m not the girl next door
You find in every street
But I’m the girl overseas
You need to surf waves for me
Brave your deeper waters
And sing your songs
strong enough for me to hear

I’m not a flower you find in a garden
But I’m the wild rose
That dances freely in the fields
You need to dance along with me
And find your freedom at heart
So you can love me wildly
and openly

I’m not a girl of ‘just a girl’
Or ‘another girl’
But I’m the girl of ‘THE girl’
Of ‘your girl’
Your wild rose overseas

©RoseGirl2018

I wallow in our love
And make a cocoon of it
To seek protection
against swords and thorns
of the world outside
And then I’m in there
together with you
Like two butterflies
Holding each other
in the knowing that
Our best time
is yet to come

Previous: Trash

My love, when I feel like
I’m just trash to others
And I am like a ghost
that does not belong

Can we just be ghosts together
That belong to each other
And then we say ‘boo’
to the people that hurt me
And left me alone

And out of the trash
that is thrown
we make a treasure
to keep

©RoseGirl2018

When you don’t know how or when
Or which road to choose
Just ask the stars
And they will show you
The connecting dots
The story of us
The map of our fate

Do you see how the shine
of some of them is still to see
Even when they’re already
gone many light years ago?
Can you still feel my embrace
How I looked into your eyes
Even when you don’t see me no more?

Ask the stars
And they will tell you
about the lasting impression
The indelible mark
you left on me
And how the constellation
of the two stars
that we are
is meant to be

©RoseGirl2018

Be mine, my love
In heart, body, mind and words
In spirit, on earth and far above
Forever and far beyond

Be mine when you wake up
Be mine when you take
your steps into a new day
Be mine when you eat and drink
and smile and sleep
Be mine in all what you do
and what you leave

Be mine in your failure and in your success
In your tears and in your happiness
Be mine when you rise and jump
Be mine when you fall and bump
Be mine in motion and in stillness
In dreams and in what is real
Be mine when you miss me and I miss you
Be mine when you’re far away
and when you’re near

Be mine when you want to
walk away
Be mine when you wish to stay
Be mine when the sun shines and when it rains
Be mine signed on a paper
and in name
Be mine without any proof
and just in trust
Be mine for the laughter and the fun
Be mine for serious business

Be mine when you make love to me
In my arms, in my heart,
in my body, in my art
When you lead and when you follow

Be mine now and right on time
Be mine when you’re late
Be mine when you’re cold
and when you’re hot
Even moody, gloomy, clumsy
Be mine anyway and for sure
Naked and with clothes
Be mine when the door of your heart is open
and when it’s closed
Be mine when I am yours

On this dark December day
The rain keeps falling
It’s like
even the Dutch sky
seems to miss its sun
and cries its tears
in yearning for you

©RoseGirl2018

Do you feel me like I feel you
As a presence always around
Almost touchable sometimes

As a presence in my heart
A glowing, connecting warmth
As a waterfall of love
coming down

As a presence in my thoughts
An image before my inner eyes
A presence in my poems
In every word palpable

Do you feel me like I feel you
So we are never without
Even when out of sight
We both have us within
And have each other around

©RoseGirl2018

Do you remember
How are eyes locked
and pulled us together
It seemed not of this world
A force that worked
beyond us
We did not have any control
Magnets we carry inside
our hearts
That pull us to each other

Like the sun and moon
pull the ocean
and let the tides arise,
We are pulled by love magnetic forces
Stronger than the own will of the ocean water,
Stronger than us
A force that always keeps
and pulls us together

©RoseGirl2018

Let me shout for once
Let me scream
All of my hurt
All of my dark past
From the deepest of my being
I will cry and roar

And then,
let me come to terms
with life and with myself again
In your arms,
Silently
Peacefully
Against your chest

©RoseGirl2018

This is just
a simple small poem
Simple in words,
though deep in its meaning
Small in its size,
but big in its reach
to let you know
you’re my everlasting
love

©RoseGirl2018

When you overthink
And your thoughts are like
jumping monkeys in your mind

Just play your music
Ground yourself in good vibes
And sing, sing, sing
Imagine me in front of you
How I mirror your smile

And over sing, over play,
over dance, over joy,
over smile, over love
your thoughts

He is a troubadour
He travels the world
on his horse
And he rides and wanders
Through Summers and Winters
Through light and dark days
And wherever there are people
that want to listen,
he sings his songs
about love and melancholy
to come in from the cold
and to warm himself
and the people he meets

But then he gets restless again
As he is a stranger everywhere
And he longs for a fire that
burns and shines him
right into the heavens
And he knows

There is a house of poetry out there
There is a kingdom for him somewhere
There where she is

And he could travel and travel
And search and go
ride over the whole world
Sing his songs everywhere
But he knows,
Oh how he knows

At her fireplace
there is his home
And only there,
with her flame
he can truly warm his heart
and his songs will be warmly heard

©RoseGirl2018

Write me into your words
Rhyme me into your poetry
Sing me into your songs
Let me be your melodies
you play every night
Tune me into your music
Voice me into your sound
And turn me on

It goes against all odds
It is not logical
As the storylines of the past
speak against it
And if you would look at it
from outside
It wouldn’t make sense
There is no rhyme or reason to it

How happily in love I feel
with you
How I trust and believe
Where others would already
have lost hope
long time ago
Is it because my heart,
my soul just knows?
And then it is the logic
that doesn’t make sense

©RoseGirl2018

There are different ways
of contact
There is the talking and the listening
The writing and the reading
There is the eye to eye
The body to body
There is the direct and the indirect
In closeness or in distance

And there is the contact,
There is the knowing that
we are in contact always
Our thoughts that talk with each other
Our feelings that exchange
Our dreams that interrelate
Our hearts that communicate
Always

©RoseGirl2018

And she closes the curtains
Of her house of poetry
It has been a long day
And now it’s time
to go to sleep

But there are still new poems
That eagerly want to be written
and read
They are like the flames
of the candles
That make dancing shadows
on the wall

But now, she really says good night
to her fairy man
Good night to her poems
Tomorrow will be a new day again
The last tale she’ll tell today
is how she’ll fall asleep in his arms

©RoseGirl2018

Read my words
Taste them on your lips
Every single letter
will pull you
more into my world

Read my eyes
They are an open book
to you
Hungrily they wait
for their reader

Read my hands
Read the storylines
on my palms
How they continue
on yours

Read my lips
And how they whisper
About all the kisses
yet to come

Read my heart
Our love is written in it
Your name is engraved
Indelibly

Read my body
Read its language
How it moves around you
And how all its senses
are made to sense you

Read all my pages
All my chapters
As all is filled with me
and you

©RoseGirl2018

Dance with your guitar
Like you dance with me
Hold me closely against
your body

And dance me playfully
Dance me softly
And then dance
me strongly
Bring me in harmony
with you

Dance, my love
and move us around
Dance me freely
Dance me heavenly
Dance me as I dance you

©RoseGirl2018

We pick up the broken pieces
The pieces that we lost
along the road
Pieces of hurt
Of childhood wounds

Pieces that scattered
Or just flew away from us
Sometimes we didn’t even know

Pieces of betrayal
Of heartaches
Pieces of lost dreams
Of lost hopes

We pick up all the pieces
We pick up you and me
And we make us one
We make us whole
again

©RoseGirl2018

I know, it’s not easy to be loved
if you expect to be abandoned again
If you think love can
be taken away from you anytime
Like a thief in the night
that steals your heart

If you think love has conditions
And you need to meet certain standards
If you think love is a game
and you will lose in the end
If you think you will never be good
enough

So you tested the waters
You threw rocks into it
You let huge waves arise
And made thunderstorms
in the sky

But look, here by your side
Do you see how this love has never left you?
That it passed all tests
And that it loves unconditionally?

Do you see how I am still here
Holding your hand
Can you now believe in love again
And can you trust me?

©RoseGirl2018

How could my words flow like a river so abundantly
If it weren’t your eyes that read and shined into it
If your eyes wouldn’t reflect their beauty back to me
What I then catch in new words again
As my poems are in full circle
with your eyes always

©RoseGirl2018

I have an internal radar
I am programmed in my soul
to always look for you
Like you always look for me
And in every lifetime we’ve navigated
our way back home to each other
Until we reunite
and never separate again

©RoseGirl2018

I want to step
out of the stories
Out of the poems
and the songs

I’m done with
just saying the
‘I-love-you’s’
With all the ohhh’s
and the ahhh’s
With the ‘cutie’
and the ‘sweetie’

I want things to be
Of flesh and blood
Of sweat and breath
Of touch and taste
Of sound and smell
Of body to body
I want things to be
raw and uncovered
I want things to be
real and true

I don’t want you as a king
Or just a fairy man
A singer or a poet
I want you as you
The only you
The tangible you
The very true fairy you
Here next to me
On a real couch
